Stephen Carpenter, lead guitarist for Sacramento, CA alternative metal favorites Deftones, linked up with his friend B-Real (of Cypress Hill, etc. fame) for a track titled “Lyrical Hammers” last year.
Carpenter and the aforementioned multi-platinum rap star have long been friends, joining forces in the short-lived rap metal band Kush around the early 2000s, and more frequently, partaking in smoke out sessions together while discussing various topics on B-Real‘s podcasts and interview series.
“Lyrical Hammers” comes from a collaborative album titled “Real Psycho” which paired B-Real and Psycho Les of The Beatnuts fame. That effort saw a release last December, while,this Jason Goldwatch-directed music video for it just received its online premiere.
